Here's what you need to know about current opportunities and future auto market conditions.
Current Inventory is Safe From Price Hikes
Yes that's right, our current inventory on lot is not affected by the tariffs! Despite President Trump's 25% tariffs that took effect April 3rd, all vehicles currently on our lot at GMC of Riverfront Park are priced without tariff impacts. As it is mid April at the time of this posting, however, this security in pricing will not last forever. Industry analysts confirm dealers have about 60 days of non-tariff inventory available and we are dedicated to making sure we can pair you with the vehicle you need at the best value possible.
"If you're thinking about buying a car, you need to be shopping now," says Jennifer Newman of Cars.com, where you can find even more details about the fast moving changes concerning the tariffs and how they affect the auto industry.

Goldman Sachs estimates new vehicle prices will rise $2,000-$4,000 in coming months. Act now to lock in pre-tariff pricing on our available inventory before these increases take effect.
Domestic Advantage: GMC's Strong U.S. Manufacturing

While imported vehicles face immediate 25% tariffs, GMC's strong domestic manufacturing helps mitigate impacts. However, upcoming May 3rd parts tariffs may affect all automakers.
Boston Consulting Group estimates tariffs will add $110-$160 billion in annual industry costs. As a primarily domestic manufacturer, GMC is better positioned than import brands, but analysts still predict $3,600 average increases on U.S.-assembled vehicles due to parts tariffs.
President Trump has suggested possible pauses to help automakers adjust supply chains. Regardless of policy changes, our current inventory offers price protection during this uncertain period.
